OS gifts idea, any one recognise this?!

Firstly, I am sure this is in the wrong place, but I think you guys might be able to help me!

I'm looking for a verse that I can use to make small gifts for kids leaving school this year. It contains lines like 'always have enough money' and you include a coin, 'hope life is always sweet' including a sweet - I have seen it before and think it is such a sweet idea, but can I remember the damned thing? Of course not!

So, if anyone is feeling clever (or alternatively creative!) I really need some ideas!

I do love 'wear sunscreen' but the one I'm thinking of would mean I could put together a little gift pack for them... I just can't remember where I saw it!

Just had a quick think, would something like this do?

I hope that life is good for you
as sweet and smooth as honey
here's hoping you are always loved
and always have enough money

although the last line isn't quite right, you could alter it.

Never lack enough money???

Still not right, I will keep thinking.

er...Never want for money?

Getting there!

So far I have they following (doesn't quite scan yet!)

May you always have money in your pocket - a coin
May life always be sweet - a sweet
May there always be time for coffee with friends - coffee beans
May the road ahead be clear - a map

I'd like to think of a couple more things, but I will have to make 25 packs, so they need to be little symbols, not big things!

So far I can only think of things that are completely in-appropriate or too large for what you need. We haven't had our evening meal yet, perhaps that will make me think more clearly!
